What you'll see and do
Royal National Park
Our journey begins as we leave Sydney and enter the spectacular Royal National Park, the second oldest national park in the world. As we wind our way through this pristine coastal wilderness, you will experience a dramatic shift from the bustling city to lush Australian bushland. This is the perfect, peaceful introduction to the Grand Pacific Drive, offering glimpses of hidden beaches and rugged sandstone cliffs before we hit the open ocean road.
Pass by without stopping
Bald Hill Lookout & Hang Gliding Spot
Perched high above the coastline at Stanwell Tops, Bald Hill Lookout offers one of the most iconic panoramic vistas in Australia. From this world-famous vantage point, you will enjoy a spectacular bird's-eye view of the Sea Cliff Bridge as it snakes along the rugged Illawarra escarpment. This site is internationally renowned as a premier hang-gliding destination, and you will often see colourful gliders launching into the sea breeze right before your eyes. It also holds a significant place in Australian history as the site where aviation pioneer Lawrence Hargrave first experimented with box kites in the 1890s. Sweeping coastal views stretch from the Royal National Park in the north down to the distant horizon of Wollongong in the south — an unmissable photography stop that perfectly captures the scale and beauty of the Grand Pacific Drive.

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Sydney.
How much does Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Sydney usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Sydney is not rushed.
Is Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (0/5 across 0 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Sydney, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour?
+
Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Sydney can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Sydney and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Sydney to Grand Pacific Drive - Kiama & Southern Highlands Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Sydney within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Sydney?
+
On Outty we rank every Sydney experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include WILD Wombat and Kangaroo Day Tour, All Inclusive, Depart Syd: Blue Mountains Best All Inclusive with Local Guide, Blue Mountain Small Group Tour All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Sydney?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Sydney?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
